General Help

Thank you for your humourous reply. :) I saw your article about using the lou pan as a "ghost detector". Sometimes, you fell sick after "detecting" presence of paranormal activites. So, i was thinking if we can make the Lou Pan more "powerful" by blessing it or "opening its eyes", perhaps that would be safer to use it? So, if enshrining the lou pan does not make sense what about "opening the eyes" of symbolic status like the chi li etc. Is this different from enshrining the lou pan to make it more protective? Is it really necessary or can we just buy the chi li without "opening the eyes" and will they still work? regards spencer

Thank you again for your quick response. But unfortunately, these homes are all set in this manner. I have heard however, that these delapedated homes maybe moved out by the end of the week.

1. Honestly, as all of us know, for an apartment, there is no way we can relocate a toilet. 2. In previous forum messages, I had mentioned that often it takes more than 3 or more MAJOR"leaks" to make the Feng Shui negative in a home or apartment. 3. Thus, a toilet at the centre of the apartment is considered as just ONE MAJORleak. 4. Therefore, in your case, if you are applying Feng Shui; then make sure that your apartment has no more than 2 or more MAJOR leaks. 5. The most sensible approach or rather common sense approach is to read up the following:- The Concept of Maximizing Marks

Dear Spencer, 1. Yes, I totally agree with your comments. 2. When Dahlia Park TOP, the condo was like a second home as I had clients in nearly all the blocks. 3. What strikes me was that even if these are condos, as you had mentioned, they are firstly freehold; 4. In an exclusive private residential area with both low rise and even all condos in the area has a height restriction or often called `semi-low' rise condo apartments. Most likely because of airport restrictions on the outer-zone. 5. I always felt peaceful, within this private residential encave. Nowadays, it could even be worse-off is to stay close to embassies especially the American or British as often these …

Hi, what if I really need to move during this period...is there anything i can/should do? Thanks!

yap,ok..now i understand more of the 'white fengshui'. but i still have some things that i dont really understand about hyatt. 1. i notice that the ceiling at the lobby of hyatt hotel lobby is of many 'pyramid' shape, is it design in such a way that it is 'fengshuied'?any reason for being in that shape? 2. there are a few circular items in the hotel lobby like the spiral staircase, the flower pot in the middle of the lobby, the siting area which is infront of the staircase. are all these consider as 'metal' elements?(because you had mentioned before that hyatt is using the combination of 3 elements.) 3.i also noticed that the whole lobby area is actually with timber strip…

Note: Yes, Spencer; please do use the 8 sector measurement for Yang (for the living). As mentioned earlier, this has been used as early as the Sung Imperial carpenters to built furniture/doors etc... for their emperors. Cecil Hi Cecil Thank you so much for a very informative session. I have came across two other writers who mentioned that the 8 sectors measurement being used for all measurements. Nothing was distinguished between Yin and Yang measurements or 8 or 10 sector measurements. So that makes 3 of you. Then i came to another writer who stated that the 8 sectors are meant for external measurements such as fences, gates (not tombs). And the 10 sector measurements a…

Dear Glyn, Please send my regards to Phil and all your lovely children:) Yeah, I can understand what you mean:) Nowadays, a voice amplifier or *joke* perhaps, do get yourself a CD of the sound of waves. I have seen such CDs around selling in some shops. For sure, do try out those CDs with gentle sea waves. Avoid getting those that sound like the force of a Tsusami wave... swoosh.. erh... which might literally sweep one off one's feet. Do take care! And hope you recover from your sinus! Erh..perhaps? *JOKE* When young.... when you were in your mum's womb; perhaps, your well developed ears felt comfortable, just maybe, she heard that playing sounds was good for you:) An…

Dear George, 1. In my opinion, we must be very practical in our lifes. 2. Under symbolism in Feng Shui, the closest to "auspicious" house number is as shown in the sample attachment. 3. Look at it this way: A house is not like a car in most parts of the world. This is because, how often, can we change our house numbers vs how often can we change cars and car plate? 4. Often, when we purchase a house, we are literally stuck with the naming convention of that specific street or avenue. 5. Even under numerology, there are so many ideas of what is or is'nt auspicious. The saying goes: "One man's meat is another man's poison". Even in the west, some people are supersitious w…

Dear Judy, 1. The clue here is to look at the human make-up: "We have our head and feet." 2. One simple example is, when most of us sleep we sleep in a `near' horizontal position. Here, all humans have a head. And our actual head should face the best direction. 3. Our feet should point to the opposite direction. 4. Ambulance Evacuation and the taboo: To give another example: Even for Chinese; who are very sick; recently, I encountered an experienced ambulance attendant who has advised family members of the sick that whenever; an emergency evacuation is made; "head, first". 5. When lying down, often, we want our head to be the `first' to be closer to the auspicioius direct…

Dear Geok Tin, 1. An office environment is different from a home. 2. Unless; one is the CEO or senior positions or do not have a personal room; frankly, there is very little one can do to or next to impossible to change the working desk direction. 3. Nowadays, many office use system furniture and it is next to impossible to tilt or change it's direction. 4. Honestly, you would have to depend more on "Human Luck". Nowadays, I do understand that many of us have `low morale' and tend to worry about things like restructing or retrenchments. 5. However, look at it this way: the more we worry, the more, we get into a vicious cycle of such thoughts. 6. In my opinion, "nervousnes…

dear Anon, 1. Yes, I strongly believe that good authors often state facts. 2. Even if our homes is miles away from the sea; we are literally affected by daily high/low pressures. 3. Even the idea of full moon i.e. our moon is many thousands of mile high; yet, there were documented cases of people's mood affected by the magnetic force of the moon. We can literally see high/low tides based on the moon's gravitational pull. 4. Even the Grand Duke theory is based on the planet Jupiter .. which is said to be the biggest planet and thus have a `magnetic' influence on our planet earth. 5. Thus, one must never, never discount: Macro Feng Shui. 6. Yet, time and time again, we…

Dear Glyn, 1. Frankly, based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui it is not advisable to place a bed next to the window(s): 1.1 Often, the window next to where one person sleeps could be closed. Or if open, can bring `drafts' of air to those sleeping close to the window. 1.2 A better Shapes and Form arrangement is as shown under the attachment. 1.3 Here, the bed has a back support and away from the `elements' (window). Since, you had also mentioned that there is no toilet at this location. 1.4 Is the bedroom door at the middle or at the side. This is not a main issue unless one sleeps with the legs facing the bedroom door (in this situation, it is akin to bringing out the coffin…

Dear Glyn, Do you have a sketch layout showing this part of the home in relation to the windows (if any); doors and the location of the toilet. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jennifer, Palm Grove Condominium Both Palm Haven and Palm Grove share the same developer: CapitaLand. Both are 999 year leases. Palm Haven's lease started from 1/9/1876. While Palm Haven's has a better advantage since it started from 1999. Currently, this area only allows for low rise residential estate. Therefore, both Palm Haven and Palm Grove have low rise units. Each development at 4 storey high. Besides consideration such as the remaining lease time-limit and psf; in terms of external Feng Shui, the smaller development (Palm Haven with 48 units as oppose to 111 units for Palm Grove) has better shapes and forms. If one notice the attached site plan for Palm Haven…

Dear Judy, Under the Five Elements concept:- 1. Other than using colour, shapes is another consideration. 2. Thus, circle symbolises metal element. While rectangle or square represents earth. 3. Generally, white, silver, chrome or gold represents metal element. 4. If one takes a close look at a Chinese Luopan, one will notice that it is made up of an external square (represented by earth) and the inner plate is the Heaven plate. 5. The key to understanding here, is that the Heaven (Metal) plate is the key to our life. The Heaven (Metal) circular plate is akin to Heaven's Qi. The Heaven qi is used to conqueror or neutralise earth imbalances e.g. the square plate. 6. This …

Dear Lana, In my opinion, it is best that you dispel with "Feng Shui" for the time being. Let me elaborate.... If one is currently facing financial problems; the worst senario is to depend on the `type' of Feng Shui that you are practising. The majority of what you are practising is: the wrong type of Human/Man Luck. I understand many of us want to feel comfort by placing things in our homes, just because we read that it "might work". We can draw a parallel to some people who when faced with difficulties "drown" themselves with food. Placing figurines etc.. does not work! In fact, if we look at it carefully, all the best human luck is/are Free! I often mentioned that we …

Dear Anon, It depends on the distance between your main entrance vs your neighbour's (partial) wall. Often, 3 metres distance away is acceptable. Usually, it is best not to be too close because sometimes, the corner of the wall is like a poison arrow aimed towards your main entrance door. And secondly, it is often not too good because qi (air) flow is not smooth. What could be worse are the new generation Punggol flats. Some of these are corner units and the corridor wall is aimed directly into the homes. Depending on the situation, sometimes, potted plants can soften this effect. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Daria, Please see the attachment. I used Smart Draw software to give a simple illustration: 1. Please see a sample `North' marking. It may not be exactly true North. But this is merely a sample. 2. I had placed a True compass direction's grid on the `centre-of-gravity' of the layout plan. This method is known as the True compass `pie-chart' method. Another method is to properly mark out the `zones' for each compass direction. Much like the sample `zone' shown in PURPLE for the North compass direction. Each compass zone can also follow this type of marking or zone. 3. Highlighted in yellow is considered as a missing corner. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Yew Hui, Please see below:- I strongly believe that Feng Shui is not only just the interior but equally or more important is the external Shapes and Forms. 2. Even if we are looking at the interior,we should also look at the layout plan. For example, safe shapes are layout plans that are rectangular in shape. Look out for the toilet locations etc.. Here, if one wants like to trickle in, a simple day curtain or even using sun-ex films can be used; such as an opaque film. Where possible try to find out what is the rationalefor theprevous owner selling their unit (if possible). Warmest Regards, Cecil Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Today, there are still some developers who had folded up. This is not just in Malaysia or in Singapore. A few months back, this developer had uncompleted development and it has become a breeding ground for mosqitoes. Therefore, any land, that has both good or bad Feng Shui, can come down with such a situation. Often, it is sheer `bad luck' which is attributed to the most common situation: downturn in business, leading to cash flow problems for such a developer. Why not, if an experienced FS practitioner finds that the land is OK. A towkay (rich man) may eventually, buy over this land. Hopefully, at a much lower price - due to forced sale…
